Database Theory Column Report on PODS 2019

Abstract

The 38th ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGAI Symposium on Principles of Database Systems (PODS 2019) took place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from July 1 to July 3, 2019, in conjunction with the 2019 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data. PODS focuses on theoretical aspects of data management, and the co-location with SIGMOD stimulates interaction between theory-oriented and systems-oriented research. Since the first edition of the symposium in 1982, the PODS papers are distinguished by a rigorous approach to widely diverse problems in data management, often bringing to bear techniques from a variety of different areas, including computational logic, finite model theory, computational complexity, algorithm design and analysis, programming languages, and artificial intelligence.
